Letters Patent No. 112,498, dated March "Z, 1871.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making pari: of the same.

`To all V'whontl "Zt may concern A Be itknown that I, 'EDWARD Gr. RUSSELL, of Itavenna, in "the county oi' Portage and State of Ohio., have invented a new and improved Mechanical Movement; and Ifdo lhereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable othersskilled int-he art Lto make and use `the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing forming partrof this specification.

` This invention relafesto improvements in apparatns for impartingla reciprocating motion from an oscillating device, or viceversa and It` consists inr'a connection ofthe reciprocating and oscillating devices byrods, arranged in a manner by "which the tendency of vone rod 13o-force the reciprocating' bai-,out of its right `line'will 'be counteracted by the other. x i

` Figure `1 is a side `elevation of my improved apparatos; and

, Figure 2 is a side" elevation of a modification of the i same. l

reciprocating rod B, and at the lower end to the beam.

This connection causes the reciprocating rod to work in a right line, for the tendency of one connecting-rod to thrust t'out of said line is opposed by the other; thereby the power commonly expended by these lateral thrusts, incident upon the use of one connectingrod only, Vis saved. A v

The` reciprocating rod may either be driven by the beam or the beam may be driven by it. v

7 l The said reciprocating rod has an o'sct, E, intended to bring the weight or pointofres'istance intoy a vertical line equidistant between th'e Vertical lines of the pivot-joints of the rods C D withthe rod B and thev beam, which causes a more even and uniform motion than would otherwise be the case.

I propose in some cases tao-provide the beam with a curved end, F, struclf from the centerof motion, for

the` rod B to workiagainst, for making the motion more ,smooth vand even.

; Having thus described my invention,

I'clai-mlas new and desire to secure by LettersuPatenteJL crossed 4connecting-rods C D with* the reciprocating rod B, substantially asand for the 'purpose spcciiied. Witnesses: EDWARD Gr. RUSSELL.
